I'm curious as to what general classification of ales (e.g., "Stout," "Porter," etc...) this recipe falls under.
Grains:
10 Lbs American Pale 2-row
.5 Lb. American Crystal 90L
.5 Lb. German Carafa II
Hops:
3 oz Hersbrucker* (2.3% AA); (1 each at 60, 30, and 5 min's before boil termination)
Adjuncts:
1 tsp Coriander*
.25 oz Bittter orange peel*
Yeast:
Wyeast Kölsch*
Fermented at 60 deg. F
OG ~ 1.046
FG ~ 1.009
* I recognize that using Kölsch yeast and German hops may not necessarily be "true to style" for a Porter or Stout, but assuming that I had used ingredients that are "true to style" [for whatever particular style you think this grain-bill is best suited for], what classification of beer would this fall under?
Further, I recognize that the use of particular hops, yeast, and adjuncts can be crucial in determining classification, and if it's the case that this particular mix of ingredients doesn't fall under any one particular classification, what would you subjectively classify it as?
My best guess at a classification: Porter or [Dark] Brown Ale
By the way (and most importantly), the sample I had today was delicious
Thanks!
